Press gathered at the [**Palace Theatre**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/venue/8/Palace-Theatre.aspx) in the heart of the West End this morning for an exclusive opportunity to talk to Roddy Doyle and Director Jamie Lloyd about the show. **[The Commitments](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/1224/The-Commitments-tickets.aspx)**, which has been more than two years in the making, will open at the Palace Theatre on 21st September 2013.
After beginning the search for a cast in the show’s hometown of Dublin, The Commitments had its official launch in Dublin and The Commitments ticket pre-sale ran for 4 days before The Commitments launched in the UK today. To celebrate the release of the new musical, the Irish Independent gave away a free copy of the best-selling book by Roddy Doyle with every purchase of Saturday’s paper.
